Caregivers

Foster parents, relative caretakers, and other adults supporting babies and toddlers in the foster care system offer safety and stability, which can help move a child—and parents—forward with encouragement, support, and nurturance.

Working with parents who have children involved with child welfare can be rewarding. As a team member working to ensure a stable and nurturing environment for the child, birth parents must be provided with the very same respect and opportunity to learn the best possible ways to parent.
